Update: Hillary and Alberta Tar Sands. [View all]

Last edited Mon Jul 27, 2015, 07:25 PM - Edit history (1)

So much for Hillary's big speech about solar energy. Ed Schultz covering for the Reverend Al, who was late to his show, had Jane Kleeb on about this. Jane says Hillary has a relationship and ties to Trans Canada. So she will be in favor of the Keystone Pipeline. Also, I have a concern locally in my community, Union Pacific is trying to build a railroad spur to bring oil bomb trains with Alberta tar sands through our towns to the Phillips Conoco refinery in Nipomo on the Central Coast of California. Locally, activists are fighting it because of the danger to schools on the route, but also there would be great ecological disasters to our coast where whales were playing out in the surf today and our monarch butterfly preserve that is right along the rail line. I don't have a link as this is fresh news, but I'm sure there will be video or a transcript posted in the next twenty four hours.

If we ever needed Bernie to beat Hillary, this is reason #1 on my list.

Here's some past articles about Hillary's ties to Canadian oil.
